ReligiOus.-The English Lutheran Church
Council are taking steps looking to the Sc
curement of a successor to Mr.. Shipman. A
member of that body informs us that nothing
will be left undone to fill the pulpit
with tirst-class preacher, and that no Sc
lection will be made until the Council is fully
satisfied on that point. 1t is stated that a
considerable advance in the salary heretofore
paid, $500, will not be allowed to stand in
the way. On March 10th and 9th the pulpit
will be filled by Rev. II. NJ. Lentz, of Fairfield
Iowa, who visited here some ten years ago
and is known to number of families in the
church.
